No doubt my emails been harvested from one of two companies that I have recently dealt with. I suspect the first

[G77]

so they cant tell you whats in the parcel but its a cheque for $1,200,000 USD

[waqasahmed]

Seems so yes.I know everyone gets these kinds of emails but Ive never seen a spam email actually say SPAM in the title

[G77]

what do you mean spam? it clearly says that you just have to pay the cost of redirecting it and they will deliver your golden cheque! lol

its also funny that there a delivery firm and they have your email but not your actual address!

[waqasahmed]

the Bank Draft is
not a Drug Affiliated Fund (DAF) neither is it funds to sponsor Terrorism in your
country

What official email would actually say that? I know there are other major errors as well, but for a person getting junk mail for the first time, Im sure they could spot its a fake pretty easily
